The main objective this article is to evaluate the elements/concepts/arts belonging toAnatolia as a deconstruction problem in re-thinking the basic design education and in thedevelopment of the basic design teaching methodology. Within this scope; Basic DesignCourse handled in a wide frame has been re-fictionalized with the theme of “Basic DesignAnatolia” in different years during the period. Karadeniz Technical University (KTU)Department of Architecture Studio of Basic Design shows existence with the period themesand fictions renewing and changing itself every year in the light of the search continuing inthe areas of philosophy, art and science. The fictions discussing the phenomenon of BasicDesign with different intellectual and meaning dimensions and with changing example andexpression ways have aimed to form a representation language using the authentic valuesof Anatolian art by taking a position with cultural target within the frame of “Basic DesignAnatolia” upper theme in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 Fall terms.
